Sickly

Christian came in my room this morning at 6 am to tell me that Ayden was coughing a lot and he thought that maybe he threw up.  I got up to check on him and he was curled up without any blankets on.  He coughed a few times but was sound asleep.  I covered him up and tucked the blankets around him.  When we got up for the day Ayden didn't want breakfast.  Then he came in the kitchen and heaved over the floor.  He didn't have anything to throw up but he looked a little sick and pale.  We took Christian to school and came home.  Normally Ayden likes to snack all day long.  He eats great, healthy food but he eats all day.  Not today.  He never did throw up again and he didn't cough at all.  I'm not really sure what happened this morning but he seems okay now.

We didn't go to stroller class today because Ayden was sick.  It was super cold this morning too so they were going to move the class to 2 pm instead.  My legs have been hurting so bad the past two days.  At stroller class on Tuesday we did lunges the length of a basketball court twice.  Its no secret that I am not in good shape but I have never had such horrible muscle pain as I have from those lunges.  I am feeling much better today but its still painful.

Dominic called earlier tonight so that he could talk to the boys.  They have been asking to talk to him but are always in bed when he calls.  He spoke to Christian first then Ayden.  Christian told him about the trains that we saw on Monday and they talked about our Christmas tree.  Ayden kept asking when he was going to come home.  He said "I love you daddy, goodnight"  That whole conversation was hard for Dominic.  He was crying when I got back on the phone with him.  We talked about things that the boys and I can do to help Ayden understand time.  I think we will get a special calendar where we can have him cross off each day as we get closer to June.

I think I am going to have a shopping day on Saturday.  Our friends told me that I could call them whenever I need to take a break.  Well, I don't so much need a break yet but I do need to finish shopping for the boys.  That is very hard to do when I have them with me.  So I think I will drop off the big boys and take Mason shopping with me.  I hope I will be able to finish all of my shopping.
